Rfactor sim engine....
Does anyone use the above? Am getting a new gaming PC soon, so am checking out latest driving Sims. This seems pretty good. Any comments, or other suggestions? I've got Richard Burns Rally on the way at my brother's recomendation.
Last time I had a games PC (>2 years ago) best was GPL for track racing and Rally Trophy for rallying. What's changed? I guess GPL is still the dogs danglies....just not sure I could go through all that set-up hell again
Thanks, Richard

If you didn't like installing Mods and stuff for GPL rFactor probably won't suit you. The default cars and tracks are all fantasy ones, but there are loads of mods for real word circuits and cars. Driving model is pretty good and the PCC mod (Porsches) is up there.
GTR2 is out soon and that might set a new benchmark in driving sims. GTR /GTL are the current mainstream leaders.
There is also NetKar Pro, but this is a little buggy to say the least and the author gone strangely quiet. But for single seaters it's probably got the best tyre model and simulation.
There are demos out there for rF/GTR/GTL/nkPro so try these before splashing the cash then come and sign up on www.simracing.org.uk for some league racing against real people

Cool thanks - the GTR demo was the last sim I played, if GTL is similar but with accurate physics for the older cars I'll be happy!

liveforspeed S2
all the way IMO
sounds are crap, graphics are a bit sketchy unless you add the updated textures, but the gameplay is second to none with a good wheel/pedals and some decent online racers
